1 91 Demographic, biological and dietary characteristics associated with endometriosis in a group of Sri Lankan women Nalinda Silva 1, Hemantha Senanayake 2, Roshini Peiris-John 1,4, Rajitha Wickremasinghe 3 Sri Lanka Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 2011; 33: Abstract Objective: To identify demographic, biological and dietary factors associated with endometriosis in a group of Sri Lankan women. Methods: A case-control study was conducted at two tertiary care hospitals. Women with endometriosis (n=150) were compared with age-matched controls (n=150) with no evidence of endometriosis, both confirmed by laparoscopy or laparotomy. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and a food frequency questionnaire. Means were compared using paired t-tests and chi square tests and odds ratios (OR) were used to determine associations between dichotomous variables. Conditional logistic regression analysis was done to adjust for potential confounding variables. Results: The ethnic distribution, age at menarche, average length of the menstrual cycle and body mass index were similar in the two groups. The mean (+SD) duration of menstruation in the cases (4.11±0.11 days) was significantly higher than in the controls (3.47±0.16 days, p=0.01). Endometriosis was commoner among those with regular menstrual cycles (OR=3.108; 95% CI= ) and those having an education above Advanced Level (OR=1.729; 95% CI= ). None of the food items was significantly associated with endometriosis. The risk of endometriosis was times greater among those with an education above Advanced Level as compared to those having an education below Advanced Level (p=0.021) after adjusting for confounding factors. 1 Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka. 2 Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. 3 Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. 4 Section of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Population Health, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Key words: Endometriosis, demography, dysmenorrhea, education level, food frequency questionnaire. Introduction Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease that affects an estimated 6-10% of females in the reproductive age group 1. Among subfertile women, 25 to 50% have laparoscopic evidence of endometriosis 2. Recently, an increase in the incidence of surgically diagnosed endometriosis has been noted in some countries 3. Patients 4,5 and health care systems 6,7 worldwide, are burdened by this disease in terms of morbidity and economic costs. In 2002 alone, the estimated cost of diagnosing and treating endometriosis in the United States of America (USA) was USD 22 billion 1. Despite extensive research, the etiology of endometriosis remains elusive. The chronic course and severity of this disease are defined by the persistence of the ectopic tissue with concomitant inflammation 8. The etiological factors that promote the survival of ectopic tissue have been extensively investigated. These can be broadly categorized as factors that blunt the immune response in the pelvic cavity, factors that promote adherence or angiogenesis, pro-inflammatory substances and the estrogenic compounds that promote survival of the tissues 8. The use of patient characteristics to diagnose endometriosis instead of the standard surgical procedures has been tested previously 9,10. Associations with potential risk factors have been used to predict the recurrence of ovarian endometriosis 11. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it shares some traits with malignancy 8 and has been linked with ovarian cancer 12. Epidemiological surveys are also instrumental in determining modifiable risk factors which once translated into lifestyle changes help to prevent the onset or deter the progression of disease. This has been shown to be successful in research related to breast cancer 13.
2 92 Nalinda Silva, Hemantha Senanayake, Roshini Peiris-John, Rajitha Wickremasinghe There are reports on demographic 14, menstrual 15, biological 16, dietary 17,18 and life style 14 characteristics that are linked to endometriosis. Some studies have shown that Asian women are at a higher risk of developing endometriosis 19,20 which is postulated to be due to genetic polymorphisms that have been described 21,22. Some risk factors are common in studies done in different countries 23. Modifiable risk factors of endometriosis such as dietary factors 24, environmental exposures 25,26, body size and figure 27 have also been investigated. The consumption of soya based foods has been implicated as an etiological factor as soya contains phytoestrogens viz. genistein and daidzein 25. Data on endometriosis in Sri Lankan women are sparse. The exact prevalence of endometriosis remains unclear but a hospital based study conducted among subfertile women indicates that the figures are comparable to that from other countries with high prevalence 28. Demographic and menstrual characteristics of Sri Lankan women with endometriosis are seldom mentioned in medical literature. This study was conducted to identify the demographic, biological and dietary characteristics associated with endometriosis in a group of Sri Lankan women. Materials and methods A hospital based case control study was conducted between June 2008 and September 2010 at the Professorial Gynaecology Unit of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka and Ward 8 of the De Zoysa Maternity Hospital, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Three hundred women in the reproductive age (15 to 49 years) who were admitted to the above units for elective laparoscopy or laparotomy for diagnostic and/or treatment purposes constituted the study population. Indications for laparoscopy or laparotomy were subfertility, dysmenorrhoea, chronic pelvic pain and detection of an ovarian mass. Patients who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy for the first time as well as those who had follow up surgery were recruited into the study. A case was defined as a woman in the reproductive age group who has a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis on laparoscopy or laparotomy. This included 150 patients who were already diagnosed with endometriosis or were diagnosed for the first time. One hundred and fifty age matched women in whom endometriosis was excluded by laparoscopy or laparotomy were recruited as the control group. Each control was ±4 years of the age of the corresponding case. A sample size of 150 women in each group is sufficient to detect an odds ratio of 2.5 with an alpha error of 5% and a power of 90%, given the prevalence of exposure in the controls is 20%. Data were collected using a structured pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire which included questions on basic demographic characteristics, menstrual history, potential risk factors etc. A 45 item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to gather information on regularly consumed food items and their frequency of consumption during a period of one year. This FFQ has already been validated in a Sri Lankan population 29. The frequency of consumption of each food item was assessed against a scale of one to six as follows: one for less than once a week, two for once a week, three for between twice and four times a week, four for more than four times a week, five for once per day and six indicating a frequency of more than once a day. The English version of the entire questionnaire was translated into Sinhala and the Sinhala translation was back translated into English by an independent person. The two English versions were compared and were found to be comparable. The questionnaire was pre-tested in a group of 10 patients who did not participate in the study at the Professorial Gynaecology Unit of the National Hospital prior to the study for comprehensibility. SPSS version 13 for Windows and STATA were used for statistical analysis. Means were compared with paired T-tests. McNemar tests and odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to test for associations between dichotomous variables. For analytical purposes, the FFQ data were categorized into two; frequencies one to three were amalgamated into one group while frequencies four to six were amalgamated into another group. For each food item, comparisons were done between consuming a given food item less than and more than four times a week. Conditional logistic regression analyses were done adjust for potential confounding variables. Informed written consent was obtained from all the participants prior to elective laparoscopy or laparotomy. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Ethics Committees of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura and the National Hospital of Sri Lanka. Results The mean (+SD) ages of cases and controls were 33.2 (±5.4) and 32.7 (±5.4), respectively (p=0.14). The demographic characteristics of the study participants Sri Lanka Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
3 93 are summarized in Table 1. The distribution of cases and controls were similar in ethnic composition, occupation and province of residence. Patients who had an education level above Advanced Level (A/L) had a higher risk of developing endometriosis as compared to controls (OR=1.729; 95%CI= ). The mean body mass index in cases (±3.87) Kg/m 2 was similar (P=0.855) to controls (±4.62) Kg/m 2. Patients with endometriosis were more likely to have regular menstrual cycles and longer duration of menstruation as compared to controls (Table 2). Age at menarche, length of cycle and passage of clots during menstruation were similar in cases and controls. A history of miscarriage, subfertility, nulliparity, and the use of hormonal contraceptives were not associated with endometriosis. None of the food items considered in the FFQ was associated with the risk of endometriosis (Table 3). In the conditional logistic regression model, being educated more than Advanced Level was an independent risk factor of endometriosis after adjusting for regularity of cycles and duration of menstruation (Table 4).

Patients with endometriosis and their age-matched controls had similar demographic, menstrual and dietary characteristics. Findings of this study are comparable to studies done elsewhere. Attainment of a higher level of education, a potential proxy for socio-economic status, has been associated with endometriosis in studies done in different parts of the world 27,30,31. Endometriosis has been referred to as a disease of the high social class 32. Higher education permits a woman to gain employment and pursue a career. In our data, a higher percentage of cases (50.8%) compared to controls (40%) were employed although this difference was not statistically significant. Being a career woman predisposes the individual to stress, both physical and psychological which are known to have ill effects on the reproductive and immune functions 33. Some researchers have found that certain occupations are associated with a slightly increased risk of endometriosis 34. However, other possibilities have to be explored in interpreting this finding. The more educated are more likely to delay child bearing and be aware of the available treatment options to seek them 32 which may have been reflected in our results. Although ethnic disparities have been observed elsewhere 19, there was no difference in the occurrence of endometriosis between the major ethnic groups in our sample. The majority of both cases and controls in this study as expected were Sinhalese. The few participants from other ethnicities may have masked any effect due to ethnicity, if it truly existed. With identification of new genetic polymorphisms 35 the effect of ethnicity on the causation of endometriosis in the Sri Lankan population may be explored further. Menstrual characteristics have been extensively scrutinized in studies related to endometriosis. In this study, women with endometriosis were more likely to have regular menstrual cycles and longer periods of menstruation as reported in other studies in bivariate analyses 36,37. The retrograde transplantation theory is the widely accepted mechanism of endometriosis 8. Regular cycles and longer periods of menstruation are known to predispose a person to retrograde menstruation and have been found to be associated with endometriosis 15. Conflicting findings have also been reported in the literature in respect to menstrual features and endometriosis 15. The value of menstrual characteristics in the non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis has been emphasized 9. Similar to a study conducted in the USA, the cases and controls in this study also had comparable BMIs 38. In other studies, it has been reported that endometriosis is associated with low body mass index 14,16,27,39. The role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of endometriosis has been investigated previously. While substances like phytoestrogens are implicated in the aetiology of the disease, dietary characteristics are widely viewed as modifiable risk factors 24. We explored the association between endometriosis and
6 96 Nalinda Silva, Hemantha Senanayake, Roshini Peiris-John, Rajitha Wickremasinghe food items using a previously validated FFQ 29. Although there is criticism of using simple recall as the method of measuring the number and frequency of food items, similar FFQs have been used in other countries 40. We did not identify any food item as a risk factor of endometriosis. This finding needs to be interpreted with caution given the relatively small sample size. The use of hospital settings for risk factor assessment may not reflect in entirety the conditions in the general population 41. Nevertheless, many of the studies that have investigated the risk factors of endometriosis have enrolled controls from among hospital patients as the exclusion of endometriosis too requires a surgical procedure 31. Sixty one percent of the cases and 50% of the controls recruited from the two hospitals were from places outside the Western Province of Sri Lanka indicating a population fairly representative of the general population. The use of infertile women in studies on endometriosis has also been criticized as 25-50% of them are known to have endometriosis 2. In this study, a high proportion of cases (76.9%) and controls (64.1%) had a history of subfertility. In previous studies too a high proportion of subfertility has been noted among patients with endometriosis 33. Researchers have in the past opted to use highly selective groups of controls to exclude selection and diagnosis biases 14. In this study, controls were recruited among those who had no visual evidence of endometriosis. The two teaching hospitals in which the study was carried out are tertiary care settings, where probably patients with more severe forms of the disease are seen possibly giving rise to some form of selection bias. Demographic and menstrual characteristics have been observed to differ with increasing severity of endometriosis 36. In conclusion, patients with endometriosis investigated in this study were more educated than those who did not have the disease. No other demographic, biological and dietary characteristic investigated were found to be associated with endometriosis after controlling for level of education in this group of Sri Lankan women, probably due to the homogeneity of the Sri Lankan population in terms of cultural norms, customs and ethnic and genetic admixture resident in a small island country. We highlight the need for further investigation of this chronic disease which has considerable morbidity and associated health care costs.
